  inexcusible!

 
  Me:
  I feel the need to respond to this. I think people are getting too hung up
  on their own feelings about certain issues. I don't consider it murder per se,
  because...well...Umbridge deserved whatever she got. I've been reading this list for quite a while, and the fact that so many people get upset about F/G stepping on Malfoy and crew, James being mean to Snape, Harry blowing his top and tormenting Dudley, Hermione being perfect, and a host of other complaints just blows me away. I mean, geeze people, chill out. 
  Sorry for that, but I read this list for the intense thought provoking discussion, not the whining about bad characters being mistreated/injured/killed. The ends justify the means. 
  If tricking Umbridge into the forest gets her killed, then I'm all for it, long as she is removed as an obstacle.
